Snake Eyes #10

/ / Comics

snake-eyes-10-coverThe “Cobra Command” crossover continues as Cobra destroys the opium fields of Nanzhao and Storm Shadow’s ninja teams take out the U.N. trops helping with the civilian evacuation. Realizing there’s no one else for the job Snake Eyes take it upon himself, with Helix in tow, to go deep into the jungles of Nanzhao and find his blood brother.

As Snake Eyes and Helix go deep into the jungles we learn the Storm Shadow’s latest cat-and-mouse game involving Snake Eyes are not part of the new Cobra Commander‘s master plan. Meanwhile, the rest of the Joes at Fort Baxter try to determine Cobra’s endgame and what they are after by depopulating the country, destroying its drug supply, and leaving the highways and utilities intact.

There’s plenty of ninja action here and more than a little foreshadowing that we’re going to get a major throwdown between Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow before “Cobra Command” ends. And we’ve still got plenty of unanswered questions as to what the new Cobra Commander is really after and what plans he has for the dirty nuclear bombs Destro is seen unloading in the comic’s final panel. Worth a look.

As Finch (Michael Emerson) worries about rebuilding his system after last week’s attack by Root (Rachel Miner) and the fact that the son (Michael Stahl-David) of his former partner (Brett Cullen) is getting too close to uncovering the existence of the Machine, Reese (Jim Caviezel) enlists the help of Carter (Taraji P. Henson) to protect a teenager (Astro) still reeling from the recent murder of his older brother.

The All-New Batman: The Brave and the Bold #16

/ / Comics

batman-all-new-brave-and-bold-16-coverThe latest, and sadly last, issue of The All-New Batman: The Brave and the Bold find Batman dealing with the return of Bat-Mite. However, this time around it isn’t Batman who’s the focus of the imp’s attention – it’s Batgirl.

When Batman loans his more obscure costumes to Gotham Fashion Week Batmite decides to give them out to Mad Mod and his gang (for his amusement), but when Batgirl shows up to help save the day Bat-Mite becomes immeadiately smitten with the female crime-fighter.

The issue works well as a Valentine’s Day tale twisted with Bat-Mite’s own warped logic such as conjuring up three music-based super-villains (Pied Piper, the Fiddler, the Music Meister) or reading old issue of Lois Lane to find ways to woo Batgirl.

Bat-Mite manages to take the rejection rather well, and finds a new target for his amorous advances. It’s not a bad end to the series but with the show already off the air and the rest of the New 52 Bat-titles firmly entrenched in a far less stories there certainly seems like there’s a market to keep this title around. I’m going to be sad to see it go. Worth a look.
